Metallic sounding when cold

Me again, still learning the sounds and what not of these cars.
noticed when I start In the morning, under the engine is the source of a metallic sound, high paced “Ching Ching Ching” not super loud, and goes away within 10
to 20
seconds depending on temps, car runs great and all and maybe this is just the mini sound, but in case it’s not, I’d like to remedy haha.
video here, not super apparent though

Mini's are noisy, and it's so hard to judge from a phone video.

I do find they are noisier when cold. Doesn't sound like the timing chain right?
